Sec. 5110. Review of classification of positions

    (a) The Office of Personnel Management, from time to time, shall 
review such number of positions in each agency as will enable the Office 
to determine whether the agency is placing positions in classes and 
grades in conformance with or consistently with published standards.
    (b) When the Office finds under subsection (a) of this section that 
a position is not placed in its proper class and grade in conformance 
with published standards or that a position for which there is no 
published standard is not placed in the class and grade consistently 
with published standards, it shall, after consultation with appropriate 
officials of the agency concerned, place the position in its appropriate 
class and grade and shall certify this action to the agency. The agency 
shall act in accordance with the certificate, and the certificate is 
binding on all administrative, certifying, payroll, disbursing, and 
accounting officials.

    In subsection (b), the words ``to which this chapter applies'' are 
omitted as unnecessary in view of section 5102. The words ``appropriate 
officials'' and ``administrative, certifying, payroll, disbursing, and 
accounting officials'' are substituted for ``appropriate officers and 
employees'' and ``administrative, certifying, payroll, disbursing, and 
accounting officers'', respectively, to preserve the application to 
members of the uniformed services who are excluded from the definition 
of ``officer'' and ``employee''.
    Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions applicable 
and the style of this title as outlined in the preface to the report.
